The Cure at The Troxy
Started at 8pm with Alone, then the new album in full. Finished with Boys Don’t Cry at 10:55pm after an intermission, another full set and 2 Cure sized (ie long) encores.
Absolutely joyful evening that I felt utterly privileged to be at. Got the same vibes from pretty much everyone else there too, loads of smiles and excitement.
Spotted loads of celebs - Stewart Lee, Boy George, Simon Armitage, Annie Mac plus some journalists I recognised. Sure there must have been more but those were the ones I saw. Also saw Vic Reeves on the train up but he wasn’t going to the gig.
Made the DLR with a minute to spare to be able to make the connection for my train home.
